Some Hero With A Tuba Managed To Turn A KKK Rally In South Carolina Into A Big Dumb Joke
Lotta racists being made to look stupid today.
Far-right protest groups are nasty, hateful things, but they can also be unintentionally hilarious; the Reclaim Australia protests over the weekend attracted about 150 people, a sizeable portion of whom consciously decided to dress up as Spartan hoplites, presumably because they didn’t get the memo that 300 is an action movie based on a comic book and not a historical documentary.

It’s not just in Australia where far-right groups have been on the move; South Carolina has seen its share of angry old dudes demanding the state restore the Confederate flag to its historical place outside the statehouse after the flag was taken down following the Charleston church shootings.
States’ rights slavery supporters the KKK staged one of those rallies over the weekend, but their march to the statehouse was accompanied by an anti-racism protester who was a dab hand at the sousaphone, a kind of tuba perfect for marching. It made the vibe of the march slightly less dramatic than the KKK would’ve liked.
Loootta racists looking stupid today. Good day.
